In plain and short, we simply divide 5 by (1+2+3) and then distribute the pieces likewise

add the ratios up, and you'll get 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 1 = 5x
Bringing like terms on one side
1 = 5x - 3x
1 = 2x
1/2 = x
Answer: x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. (i)
Here in parallelogram ABCD , AC and Bd are diagonals intersecting at E.
BE = 2x + 2, BD = 5x – 3, and AE = 4x – 6
Using (i)

Now , AE = 4(7)-6 = 28-6 = 22
AC =2 AE = 2 (22) =44 units.
Hence, x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.
Its either centimeters or inches.
I prefer centimeters
1) Convert the mixed number 8 and 2/13 into a fraction:
8 and 2/13 = 8 + 2/13 = (8*13 + 2) / 13 = 106 / 13
2) Calculate 4/5 of 106 / 13
(4 / 5) * ( 106 / 13) = (4*106) / (5*13) = 424 / 65
That is (390 + 34) / 65 = 390/65 + 34/65 = 6 + 34/65 is painted white
3) Calculate the rest
(1/5) * (106 / 13) = 106 / 65 = 1 + 41/65 is painted blue
